In episode 114 of the SEOLeverage Podcast, Gert Mellak discusses the "top-down focus" approach to SEO, emphasizing the importance of placing key information at the top of web pages to align with user and search engine expectations. He uses the analogy of supermarkets placing products at eye level to explain content optimization strategies.
In this episode, Gert provides a very good analogy for SEO optimization, using the supermarket's eye-level strategy for users to find what they are looking for. If you are expecting your content or article to rank on the first page, you should follow Gert's recommendation of the top-down approach.
Users usually look at the top to find the answer to their queries and questions and if they don't find it there, they would most likely swipe back, and find the answers from others. For more information on the Top-Down approach, listen to the very end of episode 114.
